Our football match prediction:

St Etienne

Match Time & Date:

10/09/2017

14:00 GMT

Prediction: 2-1

Angers

Stade Geoffroy-Guichard will host Sunday’s football game between Saint-Etienne and Angers. As expected, Les Verts suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes in their last league fixture and it has to be noted that les Parisiens put an end to their three-game winning run in Ligue 1. Saint-Etienne aim to get back on course and they are seen as favourites on paper to win Sunday’s football game against Angers. Stephane Moulin’s charges have yet to suffer a loss in the French top flight this season, but they will have a big fish to fry against les Verts. Oscar Garcia’s men outplayed the likes of Nice and Amiens in previous two home games in the national championship and we predict that they are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration this weekend. Summer signing Jonathan Bamba, who played for Angers last season, is likely to pose a big threat for his former teammates.

Highligted Player (Cheikh MBengue):

Born in Toulouse on 23 July, 1988, Cheikh M’Bengue started his youth career at FA Roques. In 1996 Toulouse scouts spotted him and he soon joined the French team. The 182-cm-tall left back made his Toulouse debut on 15 September, 2007 against Marseille, coming from the bench in the second half of the match. A week later he made his first start for les Pitchouns in a 2-0 loss to Saint Etienne. In 2013 he moved to Rennes and after spending three years at the club he joined Saint Etienne on 20 July, 2016 on a free transfer. His contract with les Verts expires on 30 June, 2019. Cheikh M’Bengue was born in Toulouse and as a result, he played for France U21 team in the past. However, seeing that his parents are of Senegalese descent, he decided to represent the Lions of Teranga at senior level. The Saint Etienne defender made his Senegal debut in June 2011.
